sequentialInformationalBottleneckClusterer

Cluster data using the sequential information bottleneck algorithm. Note: only hard clustering scheme is supported. sIB assign for each instance the cluster that have the minimum cost/distance to the instance. The trade-off beta is set to infinite so 1/beta is zero.
